When I was in my last quarter at UCLA's Film School, this guy told me that if I had been honest at my interview and said I wanted to go into cinema and media studies, I would have been rejected. Wow, thanks.

Well, whatever. Unfortunately, writing articles is something I can't help: it's an involuntary impulse, like blinking and collecting cute super-deformed depictions of Iron Man. Just call it one of those idiosyncrasies.

Most of this is just collected from/adapted from rants found on the journal, with some other stuff being scraps excised from the primordial soup that was my original thesis topic. I'll have some more finished content coming up soon, but for now, you can also read my B.A. research paper, available through Roberto Simanowski's dichtung-digital.
